PREFACE. 



rpHE object of the author has been to present the greatest amount of useful and interesting 
matter in the smallest compass. At the same time, it has been his design to present this 
matter in such a shape as shall make it not only accessible, but attractive, to those who have 
but little time to spend in hunting up information which, though really important to a proper 
understanding of the Scriptures, will be lost in part, or altogether, if much time is required 
in research. 

All the geographical, historical, and miscellaneous material comprised in this work, has 
been introduced, after many years of examinations and suggestions, from sources too numerous 
to be stated ; but all is based upon, or modified by, the best and latest authorities. 

In the preparation of the money and coin table, the author was under obligation to Hon. 
James E. Snowden, formerly director of the United States Mint, at Philadelphia, and especially 
to William' E. Dubois, Esq., assistant assayer, who furnished the assays, weights, and values of 
several coins, including those of the shekel which was obtained from Constantinople and is in 
the collection of the United States Mint. The author is indebted to Eev. Dr. Lyman Coleman 
for valuable suggestions, and to many others in Europe, whose measurements and observations 
have enabled him to obtain distances and positions to a great degree of accuracy ; also to 
Dr. Jessup, of Syria, and to other missionaries, for information and charts whereby several 
important improvements have been made in the maps. 



Table I. 




BIBLICAL TABLES. 



FIRST TABLE. 



THE TRADITIONARY AGE. 



This table illustrates the history of the tra- 
ditionary AGE, or the history of those centuries 
during which nothing was committed to writing. 
It represents the time from the hirth of Adam to 
the flood, an era of one thousand six hundred and 
fifty-six years. The alternate yellow and white 
SECTIONS indicate centuries, a fact common to 
all the tables of this historical series. The per- 
pendicular and broad black lines represent 
the lengths of the lives of the patriarchs and 
they run through the century sections from 
the top of the table toward the lower part. The 
LIGHT GREEN section at the bottom represents 
the YEARS OF WARNING, one hundred and twenty 
in number, at the close of which commenced the 
FLOOD, the precise time of which is indicated by 
that line on which the ark is seen to rest. 

REMAEKS. 

The broad black lines also indicate the ances- 
tral line of our Saviour. The great length of 
individual life anterior to the flood appears to 
have been divinely intended to preserve the his- 
tory of those far-distant times when writing was 
unknown. For, although the history of the events 
in the garden of Eden, and of those events subse- 
quent to the expulsion of our first parents from 
that garden, was delivered through more than 
sixteen hundred years of tradition, it may be 
seen, from the table, that tradition during that 
long time was more reliable than it ever was in 
after years. For example : at the death of Adam, 
no less than eight of the patriarchs were living, 
the last of whom was Lamech, who himself lived 
during the lifetimes of Noah and Shem. So that 
Lamech, living between the times of Adam and 
-Noah, could relate to Noah, not only, but also 
to Shem, the history of the garden Eden, and 
all that took place during the life of Adam after 
7 



his expulsion; and he could say to Shem, "This 
history I received from Adam himself." Now, 
by reference to the table, it will be found that 
from the birth of Adam to the death of Shem 
(see Table II), two thousand one hundred and 
fifty years elapsed, during which the tradition 
passed through but TWO hands. At the close 
of Shem's life, Abraham was already one hun- 
dred and fifty years of age, and his son Isaac 
about fifty, and writing, in some of its elemen- 
tary forms, had already been introduced into 
Egypt and Phoenicia. 

Again, it will be noticed in the table, that 
Japheth and Ham are represented as born before 
Shem, although in the sacred text, the latter is 
mentioned first in order. But Japheth was first 
in order, in point of age, as is proven by the 
twenty-first verse of the tenth chapter of Gene- 
sis, where he is called " the elder," an expression 
equivalent to "the eldest." But because the 
Israelites were descended from Shem, through 
whom the lineage of the Messiah was derived, 
Shem was mentioned first, having priority in 
respect of importance, though not of age. 

Criticism. — To the above, it is objected that 
the passage, in which occur the words " the 
elder," may be rendered "the elder brother of 
Japheth," making Shem that elder brother. 
Answer. — It is not likely that the order of 
brothers given in Genesis x, where the children 
are enumerated, would be Japheth, Ham, and 
Shem, unless that was the order of their births, 

N. B. — In this, and in all subsequent tables, 
those lines, representing lives, which commence 
or end with dots in place of a continuing line, 
indicate that the time of birth or death is not 
known, but that the time indicated by the first 
or last dot is probably that of the birth or death 
respectively. 



BIBLICAL TABLES. 



SECOND TABLE. 



FROM THE FLOOD TO THE TIMES OF DAVID AND THE KINGS OF JUDAH. 



EXPLANATIONS. 

This table is a continuation of table first, and 
opens witb tbe commencement of that century 
wbicb immediately followed tbe flood. Tbe date 
of tbe flood was A. M. 1656. Tbis table com- 
mences, therefore, witb A. M. 1700. On tbe 
rigbt and left are tbe descendants of Noah to 
Teeah, inclusive. Tbese are not mentioned for 
tbeir piety, and some of tbem were, doubtless, 
idolaters, as was Terah, of wbom, upon tbe au- 
thority of Scripture, Joshua xxiv. 2, it may be 
said, that be served strange gods ; and from tra- 
dition, that he was a manufacturer and seller of 
images in Mesopotamia. 

On tbe left band of tbe table, and in regular 
succession, are represented the lives of those de- 
scendants of Noah whose piety was more appa- 
rent. They begin with Abraham, " the father 
of tbe faithful." On tbe right hand border of 
the table, and upon blue ground, are seen tbe 
names of tbe high priests, tbe lengths of 
whose terms of ofiice are not always known. 
Immediately adjoining are tbe names of tbe 

JUDGES. 

Fine lines run, from tbe commencement and 
termination of each indicated event, to tbe side 
of tbe table, to enable tbe student to determine 
the year of that event from the subdivisions on 
the border of the table. 

EEMARKS. 
It is worthy of attention, that human life "was 
much shorter after the flood than before. Al- 
though writing was not introduced into Greece 
by Cadmus until the twenty-sixth century, or 
about five centuries after the birth of Abraham, 



tbe art was doubtless known and practiced by 
the Phcenicians about tbe time of tbe patriarch, 
and probably existed in a state sufiiciently ad- 
vanced to record events before bis birth. Hence 
long lives were not necessary to tbe preservation 
of historical facts, "which could now be trans- 
mitted by means of writing. 

Arundelian marbles. 
Thomas Howard, tbe Earl of Arundel, and 
marshal in tbe reign of Charles I, was an emi- 
nent diplomatist and antiquary, and died A. D. 
1646. This nobleman employed William Petty 
to explore tbe ruins of Greece, and the result of 
bis explorations was tbe discovery of sculptured 
marble slabs, busts, sarcophagi, and fragments. 
Tbese were inscribed with dates and brief records 
of events in Grecian history, of great importance, 
relating to a portion of time commencing at tbe 
time indicated in the table, namely, 1582 B. C, 
and terminating 264 B. C. Tbese marbles fur- 
nish us witb tbe history of many events, and with 
many dates of an era of one thousand three hun- 
dred and eighteen years. They received tbe 
name of "Arundelian" from the earl "^'bo Avas 
at the expense of tbeir discovery. 

tyre. 
Tbis city is represented as built about eleven 
hundred years after tbe flood ; but a temple to 
Hercules and some surrounding buildings were 
commenced on tbe island of Tyre many centuries 
before this time, so that tbe commencement of 
tbe building of Tyre occurred very soon after 
the flood, though the city was not considered 
established till this period. (See Palestine, Past 
and Present, pp. 194-204.)

BIBLICAL TABLES. 



THIRD TABLE. 



FKOM DAVID TO THE CLOSE OF THE OLD TESTAMENT CANON. 



EXPLANATIONS. 

The kings of Judah appear on tlie right of 
the RED LINE, and the kingdom begins at that 
time indicated by the crown, B. C. 1094, when 
the coronation of Saul took place. The kings 
OF Israel are represented on the left, commenc- 
ing with Jeroboam I. 

The judges terminate with Joel and Abiah, 
the two sons of Samuel. 

The HIGH PRIESTS continue through this table 
as represented on the right hand border. 

The longest red line indicates the genealogy 
of OUR Saviour, on his mother's side, the 
record of which is found in St. Luke iii. 

The shortest red line, the same genealogy 
on the side of Joseph, the husband of Mary, as 
recorded in St. Matthew, chapter i. 

The PROPHETS are placed near those kings 
during whose reigns they prophesied. Thus 
IsAiAH, MiCAH, Nahum, and others, prophesied 
among the citizens of Judah ; but Jonah, Amos, 
HosEA prophesied in Israel. 

Dotted lines indicate uncertainty in relation 
to those years through which the dotted parts 
run. 

Interrogation marks added to dates signify 



" about," and, when placed near perpendicular 
lines, that the name of the prophet is not given in 
Scripture, as 1 Kings xx. 13, 1 Kings xx. 35, for 
the first two in Israel ; 2 Chron. xxv. 7, and 
15, for the next two in Judah. The dark parts 
of the lines represent the time of their prophecies. 

REMARKS. 

It will be noticed that both the red lines in- 
dicate that our Saviour's lineage was derived 
from David, and they pass from him to meet 
only in Christ. This is the most correct repre- 
sentation, and much more satisfactory than that 
founded upon the supposition that the two lines 
unite in Salathiel to be again separated. There 
were probably two Salathiels and two Zorobabels 
in either line, as there were three Josephs in, 
one. 

The HIGH priests, after the captivity of Judah 
into Babylon, partook of far less importance than 
was by them previously enjoyed, and hence the 
narrowness of the blue stripe indicating their 
existence. 

During the reign of the nineteen kings of 
Israel only twelve kings reigned in Judah, 
which indicated the comparative quiet of the 
two kingdoms.

Several of the kings appointed their sons to 
reign with, them, as Samuel appointed his sons as 
judges with him. When the father died, the son 
continued to reign. The commencement of a 
reign may, therefore, be dated from the period 
the son began to rule with his father, or from 
that time when he was king alone. Thus, in 
-2 Kings xxiv. 8, Jehoiachin (also called Jeco- 
niah, 1 Chronicles iii. 16), was eighteen years old 
when he began to reign; but in 2 Chronicles 
xxxvi. 9, it is said he was eight years old when 

Ten years .he probably 



Ihe began to reign. 



reigned with his father, and eight alone. Hence 
he was eight years old when he began to reign 
with his father ; but eighteen when he began to 
reign alone. 

THE CAPTIVITIES. 

ISRAEL. 

There were four captivities : two of Israel, 
and two of Judah. Of the captivities of Is- 
rael, the first occurred 741 B. C, when the 
Assyrian king, Tiglath-Pileser, invaded that 
part of Palestine surrounding the lake of 



BIBLICAL TABLES. 



n 



Tiberias, and after taking several cities, carried 
off to Nineveh a large part of the population of 
the districts of ZEBULOisr and Naphtali, and 
of some of the parts of Gilead, on the east of the 
Jordan and near the lake. See 2 Kings xv. 29 ; 
Isaiah ix. 1. 

The SECOND captivity of Israel was by Shal- 
manezer, who had previously made Hosea trib- 
utary to him ; but on his refusal to pay tribute, 
he attacked and reduced Samaria, the capital 
of Israel and residence of its kings, and trans- 
ported nearly, if not quite, all the ten tribes of 
Israel to Assyria and Media. Some probably set- 
tled in distant cities, and, as supposed, even near 
the Caspian sea. From this captivity it is not 
known that they ever returned to Palestine, and 
from this circumstance they are denominated the 
" Lost Tribes." Date of the captivity, 721 
B. C. 2 Kings xvii. 6. 

JUDAH CAPTIVITIES. 

There were several captivities of Judah, of 
minor importance, but the two to which we refer 
are prominent in the distinctness with which 
they appear in sacred history, and in the effect 
they produced upon the two tribes. The former 
took place when Nebuchadnezzar, king of 
Babylon, at the close of the three months' reign 
of Jehoiachin, carried both him and a large 
number of the citizens and craftsmen of Jerusa- 
lem, as captives to Babylon. The date is 598 B. C. 

The latter captivity occured after the rebel- 
lion of Zedekiah, the successor of Jehoiachin, 
when the national existence ceased, and Jerusa- 
lem, with its temple, was destroyed, — 588 B. C. 
The "whole nation then departed as exiles to 
Babylon. " The scriptural references for the 
former captivity are 2 Kings xxiv., and for the 
latter the twenty-fifth chapter. 

THE seventy years CAPTIVITY. 

The prophet Jeremiah (xxv. 12, and xxix. 10) 
speaks of a captivity lasting seventy years. It is 
difficult to fix the precise limit of these years 
upon the table, if the prophet meant to be under- 
stood as determining precisely seventy years, for 
there is some uncertainty as to the time of the 
commencement of that series of years, if the 
seventy years must close with the taking of 
Babylon, which the passage in Jeremiah seems 
to intimate, though it does not determine it as 
the limit, for it is said therein, " That after 



seventy years be accomplished," they should re- 
turn to Jerusalem. We, therefore, suppose that 
the number is used as only indicating about the 
number of years during which they should be 
captive, as in Psalm xc. 10, " The clays of our 
years are three-score years and ten,'' i. e., not 
always exactly seventy, but about that nu7nber. 
If Jeremiah is to be understood thus, then the 
term of years would most probably commence at 
the deportation of Judah to Babylon, at the close 
of Zedekiah's reign, the breaking up of the na- 
tionnl existence of Judah, and the destruction of 
the temple, all of which took place at the same 
time, and would reasonably be considered as 
affording us the date of the commencement of 
the captivity and sorrows of Judah. The termi- 
nation of the seventy years would be at that 
time when Darius executed the decrees of Cyrus, 
which, though very favorable to the Jews, had 
been rendered ineffective. In the second year 
of the reign of Darius, full poAver was granted 
the Jews to build, and all opposition to them re- 
moved. This grant resulted in the erection of 
the SECOND temple, B. 0. 516. From the depor- 
tation, B. C. 588, to this decree, which resulted in 
the building of the second temple, was so nearly 
seventy years, that there is but a few months ex- 
ceeding that number of years, for Darius ascended 
the throne B. C. 521, and the decree was issued in 
the second year of his reign, or about B. C. 519 
or 518. This we consider the most probable and 
consistent limiting of the seventy years of cap- 
tivity in Babylon. 

another SUPPOSITION. 

Some have supposed that the taking of Baby- 
lon by Cyrus (B, C. 538) was the terminating 
event of that seventy years. But there is no 
reason to believe that, seventy years before that 
event, any captivity whatever took place from 
which to date the commencement of that term of 
years. Some, however, have supposed that a first 
captivity to Babylon occurred in the third year 
of Jehoiakim, B. C. 605. Reckoning from this 
date, we shall still fall short of seventy years by 
three years, and it will be less satisfactory than 
to suppose that the captivity commenced, as we 
have already said, at the close of the reign of 
Zedekiah, the last king of Judah, and continued 
to the decree of Darius, seventy years. We 
have, therefore, adopted this era as that of the 
captivity into Babylon.

BIBLICAL TABLES. 



FOURTH TABLE. 



FROM THE CLOSE OF THE OLD TESTAMENT CANON TO THE BIRTH OF OUR SAVIOUR, AND 
FROM THAT PERIOD TO THE FINAL DIVISION OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE. 



This table comprises the indicated times of 

The Latin and Greek wbitebs, philoso- 
phers, etc., on the right ; 

The Roman emperors, next in order, toward 
the left ; 

The kings of Egypt, higher up in the table ; 

The bishops of Rome ; 

The kings of Palestine ; 

The fathers and early writers of the 
church ; and 

Various important historical facts. 

REMARKS. 
It is worthy of notice, that the Christian Church, 
during the first three centuries, suffered severe 
persecutions under various conditions of the 
Roman empire. Some have supposed that a 
state of anarchy and distress in Roman affairs 
was attended by peace in the church, and con- 
trariwise, that peace in the empire afforded op- 
portunity for and was followed by persecution of 
the church. This, however, was not always the 
case. The church was seldom exempt from suf- 



fering because of any condition in the Roman 
empire, either of prosperity or adversity. This 
will be apparent by an examination of the table. 

the christian era. 
Although this era is represented on the table 
as commencing A. M. 4000, it has been discovered 
that the true date would have been A. M. 4004, 
so that, in order that the correct dates of all the 
events anterior to the Christian era should be 
obtained, it will be necessary to bear this fact in 
mind. The use of the epoch of the birth of our 
Saviour was first introduced by a Roman monk, 
Dionysius Exiguns, in the year 527, but was 
not universally adopted by Christian nations for 
nearly nine hundred years. The common era is 
at fault equally with that before the birth of 
Christ, and this error of four years is attributed 
to the monk, but more properly to the lack of 
accurate knowledge of chronology at the time 
among all, and because of which error all the 
dates were written four years less than the 
correct number.

EGYPT AND THE PENINSULA OF SINAI.— ROUTE OF ISRAELITES. 



EXPLANATIONS. 

"Where there is no mark corresponding with 
the number which designates a city, it is to be 
understood that the location of that city is not 
definitely known, but supposed to be near the 
number. 

A SHOET MARK on either side of a number de- 
notes a general length of the object thus num- 
bered, as of rivers and mountains. For example, 
-71- signifies mountains of Abarim, which run 
in the disection of the short marks. 

Short marks above and helow, as well as on 
either side, denote that the region around the 
number is referred to ; thus -sV- signifies that the 
region around 87 is the country of Edom. 

Narrow lines, near river and sea, indicate 
canals dug for irrigation. 

The RED LINE shows the route of the Israel- 
ites. This route is determined by careful exami- 
nation of the hills, mountains, and plains on the 
way from Egypt to Mount Sinai, in connection 
with such notices as are found in the Scriptures. 

The YELLOW indicates sandy or desert country. 

The BLUE, water. 

The GREEN, fertile soil, or soil bearing some 
herbage, and the degree of fertility is indicated 
by the depth of color. 

The BROWN represents countries or places 
where there are signs of volcanic agencies. 

Dotted lines denote those water courses 
generally dry, but in rainy seasons filled Avith 
the rain, or with the waters of springs caused by 
the rain. 

GENERAL GEOGRAPHICAL DESCRIP- 
TION. 

The Mediterranean sea is represented on 
the upper portion of the map. 

The Red sea, a small portion of which only is 
seen, is on the southeast, sending up northward 
two divisions or gulfs, one of which was 

The GULF OF jElana, so called by the ancients, 
but now 'Akabah, and it extends from the north- 
east part of the Red Sea towards the Dead Sea. 
That gulf on the left is 



The GULF OF Hero-opolis, of the ancients ; 
in the times of the Israelites, simply called the 
Red sea ; now called the Gulf of Suez. 

Mounts Sinai and Horeb are in the mountain 
ranges between these two gulfs. 

The river Nile, on the southwest, runs 
northward with its various artificial and nat- 
ural outlets, and empties into the Mediter- 
ranean through TWO principal outlets ; that on 
the left is 

The RosETTA mouth of the Nile, so called 
from the town of the same name near the en- 
trance of the stream into the sea. That on the 
right is 

The Damietta mouth of the Nile. 

The Delta, strictly speaking, is that country 
included between these mouths and the cor- 
responding streams, though ordinarily the whole 
district watered by these and various other 
streams and canals on either side of these two 
branches is called the Delta, and forms the 
land of 

Lower Egypt, which is bounded on the south 
by the forks of the Nile. 

Upper Egypt is that country which is south 
of the Delta, and frequently a third division is 
made, namely. 

Middle Egypt, which refers to that land just 
south of the Delta. 

Palestine is seen on the east of the Mediter- 
ranean, and 

The Dead sea is that small sea on the extreme 
northeast. 

Edom stretches from the Dead Sea to the north- 
ern part of the eastern or ^lanitic Gulf, and 

Mount Seir bounds Edom on the west, and is 
a long range, running nearly one hundred miles, 
north and south. 

Shur or Etham, desert of. This extended for 
about fifty miles along the east side of the western 
arm of the Red Sea, commencing above its north- 
ern extremity. 

Arabia, in the eastern portion of which was 
Sheba, was south and east of the eastern arm of 
the Red Sea.

DESCRIPTION, ETC. 



Founded 332 B. C. by Alexander the Great, and in the time of the 
Ptolemies (see " Kings of Egypt," fourth table); it was the greatest 
commercial city of the East. 

The inhabitants paid great veneration to the crocodiles ; they nourished 
them splendidly, embalmed them, and buried them in cells. 

Built by an Egyptian prince of that name. Here there was a famous 
temple to Isis. 

Named from the neighboring city Canopus; also spelled Canopis. 

Received its name from the pilot of the vessel of Menelaus, who was 
here buried. It was twelve miles from l,and celebrated for a temple 
of Serapis. 

Chief city in 1 district, in which Alexandria was situated, in the time 
of Ptolemy the Geographer, A. D. 150. 

A large city in the sixth century. The inhabitants worshipped the 
dog-headed deity called Anubis. 

Its neighborhood was said to be famous for its wine, called "Mareoticum 
vinum." 

Supposed to have been dug by the king of the same name ; once fo«r 
hundred and fifty miles in circumference; made as a restrvoir of 
the Nile during the inundation. There were two pyramids in it, six 
hundred feet high, half under water, and half above. — Herodotus. 

It is now a ruined city, about ten miles south of Cairo, and on the west 
side of the Nile. Miirahenny Saggarah and several other villages are 
on its site. It was the ancient capital of Egypt, in the times of the 
patriarchs Abraham, Jacob, and the Israelites, and declined after 
the building of Alexandria, and its material was carried off to build 
Cairo. The Greek historian, Diodorus Siculus, writing 100 B. C, 
says, that its circumference was nearly twenty miles. It contained 
some most superb and magnificent buildings, many of which were in 
ruins in the time of Strabo, A. D. 20, though the city was then popu- 
lous. The arts were carried to a great degree of perfection in Mem- 
phis, and Rome was supplied with its glass long after Egypt became 
a province of the empire. It is referred to once as Memphis in 
Hosea ix. 6, but seven times as Noph. The celebrated pyramids 
were near Memphis, of which there were about twenty, three claim- 
ing special attention. The bull Apis was worshipped with splendid 
ceremonies in this city. 

The mouth of the Nile on which this city was situated was called the 
Mendesian mouth. Here the god Pan was worshipped under the 
form of a goat, and with the greatest solemnity. 

This is the name of a valley and eight lakes in direction west northwest 
from Memphis (or from the modern Cairo), and about sixty miles dis- 
tant. Several of the pools contain, in large quantities, the native 
carbonate of soda, formerly used in making mummies. This is, with 
the greatest probability, the nitre spoken of in Proverbs xxv. 20, 
"as vinegar upon nitre," that is, as an acid upon an alkali, forming a 
mere eServesoence, passing off into air ; " so is he that singeth songs 
to an heavy heart." Also Jeremiah ii. 22, where the cleansing quality 
of nitre is spoken of as a quality belonging to the natron. The same 
native soda, or natron, was found in other places besides Egypt. 

In Genesis xli. 45, 50. the name On is found ; in Ezekiel xxx. IV, Aven ; 
and in Jeremiah xliii. 13, Beth-shemesh, each referring to Heliopolis. 
The last name being Greek, signifies the same as Beth shemesh, which 
is Hebrew, namely, " house or city of the sun." In this city was a 
temple sacred to the sun, and the inhabitants worshipped a bull called 
Mnevis, with the same ceremonies with which Apis was worshipped 
at Memphis. 

Called by the Egyptians, Bubastis. Cats were held in great veneration 
here, because it was said that Diana Bubastis changed herself into a 
cat when the gods fled into Egypt. Referred to only in Ezekiel 
xxx. 17.

DESCRIPTION, ETC. 



Situated near one of the ancient mouths of the Nile, called Pelusian or 
Pelusiac, about twenty stadia (nearly three miles) from the sea. The 
name was derived from pelos (n-ijXos), a marsh, because of the marsh 
lakes near. It was the main port and harbor of Egypt on the side 
of Phoenicia; hence it was fortified strongly. It is now in ruins, and 
the ancient mouth of the Nil^ does not appear as formerly. This is 
supposed to have been the Sin referred to in Ezekiel xxx., fifteenth 
and sixteenth verses, according to Jerome. 

The modern Ras Muhammed, latitude 27° 4.3', longitude 34° 15'. 

■ Posideum signifies a promontory sacred to Neptune (noaeiiav). 

On the confines of Syria and Egypt, and on the coast of the Mediter- 
ranean. The modern el-Arish occupies its sight. Diodorus Siculus 
says that this town was destitute of all the conveniences of life ; that 
the water was bitter, and the surrounding region a salt marsh. 
Strabo says the name signifies to mutilate (kuXvu) the nose (pi'i/), be- 
cause prisoners thus mutilated were exiled to this city. This is 
considered untrue, and an Egyptian origin ascribed to the name. 

This is the Sin of Ezekiel xxx. 15, 16, according to the Septuagint, and 
is a ruined city, twenty miles west of a village called Mehala-el- 
Kebir, on some maps spelled Mehallet. The most important and 
famous in its day of all tne cities of the Delta, because of the yearly 
festival of Neith, the Egyptian Minerva, and because it was the native 
city, the capital, and the burying-place of the last dynasty of the 
Pharaohs. (Herod ii. 169.) 

A lake, from Pliny's account, much larger anciently than at present. 
Its communication with the Mediterranean sea was filled up in the 
time of Strabo. The fable makes Typhon, a monstrous giant, to have 
been put beneath this lake for fighting against heaven. As the name 
signifies " smoke," it may have alluded to some volcanic effects asso- 
ciated with this lake. West of this was Mount Casius, where Pompey 
the Great was buried. 

Probably the Pithom spoken of only in Exodus i. 11.

THE NATIONS AND TRIBES. 



PHCENICIA. 

The Phcejticians were, perhaps, the first, and 
certainly the most celebrated occupants of this 
part of the world. These were descendants of 
Canaan, and probably derived their name from a 
■word {(pntvo^) which signified "purple," as it was 
the chief article of their commerce. Their land 
was upon the coast, and bounded on the east by 
the Lebanon mountains, and on the wpst by the 
Mediterranean Sea, and extended toward the 



north to Tripoli, a coast town, seventy miles 
north of Beirut. 

On an island near Tripoli was the ancient city 
called by the Greeks Aradus, and mentioned in 
1 Maccabeus xv. 23. The inhabitants of this 
city are alluded to in Genesis x. 18, 1 Chronicles 
i. 16, under the name of Arvadite. The most 
southern city of Phoenicia was Dor, now Dura, 
about ten miles south of Mount Carmel, it was 
near the southern limit. The principal strength 
of the nation lay in its coast cities. Phoenicia

BIBLICAL TABLES. 



extended along the shore, from south to north, 
one hundred and fifty miles, and being only 
about ten miles wide in the widest part ; in area 
not so large as the state of Rhode Island, or one- 
twentieth of Scotland and Ireland. The whole 
were celebrated for their extensive commerce, 
their enterprise generally, and for their wealth 
and luxury ; and the height of their prosperity 
was reached in the times of Solomon, during 
whose reign their knowledge of the arts was of 
great service to the beauty of the temple and of 
various other buildings in Judea. Their pros- 
perity and power began to fail about 580 B. C, 
when Tyre was taken by Nebuchadnezzar. 

CCELE SYEIA. 

East of Phcenicia lay Ooele Syria, or "hollow 
Syria," called thus in allusion to its location 
between the two parallel ranges of the Lebanon 
and Anti Lebanon mountains. Although a broad 
valley, it is elevated above the Mediterranean 
about two thousand feet, is the richest district of 
Syria, well watered by mountain streams, and is 
varied in its climate. This name seems first to 
have been applied to this district during the 
times of the Seleucid^e, or kings by the general 
title of Seleucus, who commenced to reign in this 
country about 312 B. C. It is, with high proba- 
bility, supposed to be the same as Syrophoenicia, 
The country to the east of this was the country 
of Damascus, and was probably known under 
the title of Syria Damascus. 

PHILISTINES. 

These inhabited the southwest of Palestine, on 
the coast, and are located by name in the table. 

Their personal appearance was similar to that 
of the Egyptians. They were tall, well-propor- 
tioned, with regular features and lighter com- 
plexions than in Egypt. They shaved their 
beards and whiskers, and they, were distin- 
guished from all the nations to the east of Egypt 
by their head dress, which appears to partake of 
the general form of the Grecian helmet, with an 
arch from the back of the head to the forehead, 
with feathers after the manner of the North 
American Indian chiefs. A jewelled band of 



metal surrounds the head above the ears, from 
the back and side of which hangs a protection to 
the neck formed into a series of metallic scales. 
Shoulder-straps sustained a quilted leather or 
metallic covering to the loins, which reached only 
to the chest. From this a skirt hung, which 
reached neai'ly to the knees. The shield was 
large and circular, and their weapons were the 
spear and javelin, and the short sword or dagger 
for close combat. Their war chariots exactly re- 
sembled those of the Egyptians, and they used 
small carts or wagons, drawn by two or four 
oxen always put abreast. Allusion is made to 
those carts in 1 Samuel vi. 8-10, the wheels of 
which appear to have been made of planks cut 
in a circle. The Philistines were the most for- 
midable warriors of all the nations with whom 
the Israelites had to deal, and were not subdued 
till the Israelites had been in Canaan three hun- 
dred and ninety years, at the end of which they 
were subdued by David (2 Samuel viii. 1). It 
was from these that the whole country derived 
the name of Palestine. 

AEVADITES AND HERMONITES. 

These nations are properly to be classed with 
the Tyrians, as they are supposed to be of the 
same general stock. The Arvadites dwelt in 
the north of Phoenicia, and have been described 
in the first section, which treats of the Phceni- 
GIANS. The Hermonites resided to the east of 
the Tyrians and Sidonians, and probably received 
their name from their proximity to Mount Her- 
mon, dwelling in those parts near the lower or 
southern terminus of the Lebanon mountains. 
The Heemonites were Tyeians who dwell in- 
land, and, judging from representations of them 
upon the monuments of Egypt, were, alike with 
the Arvadites, of well-formed and regular fea- 
tures, more nearly resembling Europeans than 
the rest of the Canaanites south of them. Their 
eyes were blue, the beard flaxen, and complexion 
resembling the kind of brunette at present char- 
acteristic of the inhabitants of the latitude of 
Tyre. Their dress was of that purple and scarlet 
for which the Tyrians were celebrated, and in 
ornament and quality was exceedingly costly.

SEVENTH TABLE. 



GEOGRAPHY. 



THE EXTENT OF THE KINGDOM UNDER SOLOMON. 



This map illustrates tlie fulfilment of tlie 
promise to Abraham, Genesis xv. 18. The pres- 
ent known physical features of the country have 
been added, and some of the present Arabic 
names, enclosed in parentheses, to show the simi- 
larity of ancient and modern names, or to indi- 
cate the fact that the places have been examined. 
This map will illustrate some allusions to earlier 
biblical times than those of Solomon. Great 
pains have been taken to enter upon this map 
all the important physical features of the coun- 
try as known at the present year, so far as was 
possible upon so small a scale. The names of 
minute parts of the map may be learned from 
other maps, and hence the crowding of names has 
been avoided. 

INTERESTINa POINTS. 

1. Notice the position of Tadmor, nearly half- 
way between Euphrates and the land of Solomon, 
in the midst of the desert, and therefore a good 



place for resting the caravans to and from Persia 
and the East. 

2. Notice the extent of the Lebanon mountains, 
and their division into the Lebanon range on the 
west, and Anti Lebanon on the east, between 
which ranges was Coele Syria, or "hollow" 
Syria, which is about two thousand two hundred 
feet above the level of the Mediterranean, and 
through which runs the Leontes, emptying into 
the Mediterranean about three and a half miles 
above Tyre. 

3. Notice that the head waters of the Jordan, 
near Mount Hermon, are separated from those 
of the Leontes by a small space of land, and if 
they were united they would find a channel 
through the Dead Sea, and through the parallel 
cliffs of Edom (Mount Seir being on the east) 
down to the Eed Sea. This is supposed, with 
good reason, to have been the case before the 
destruction of Sodom and before the level of the 
Dead Sea was depressed as it now is.

EIGHTH TABLE. 

GEOGRAPHY. 

MAP OF COUNTRIES ADJACENT TO THE MEDITERRANEAN, AND ILLUSTRATING ACTS, 

EPISTLES, AND REVELATION. 



In this map we have used botli tlie ancient and 
modern names where such a use would make the 
relations of places plain ; that is, where the 
ancient name is the scriptural name we have re- 
tained it, but have associated it with the modern 
name where the probability is that the modern 
name would be the more important. 

The author spent much time upon the island 
of Malta in very minute examinations, and feels 
satisfied that every condition required by the 
history of the apostle Paul's shipwreck, as re- 
corded in Acts, is met in the position and physical 
features of the present Malta. Notwithstanding, 
there is an argument in favor of the identifica- 



tion of Melita, of Acts, with another island in the 
Adriatic sea, near the coast of Dalmatia. We have 
given it upon the map, with the same name, and 
not Meleda, as some insist, although " d" is fre- 
quently changed into " ^ " in the names of locali- 
ties. The " quicksands," into which the sailors 
were afraid of falling, are supposed, with good 
reason, to have been at the Syrtis Major, south- 
east from Melita, upon the northern coast of 
Africa. The names, generally, upon this map, 
are those by which places were known in the 
times of the apostle. Many places not men- 
tioned in Scripture, are omitted, in order that 
the map may be less crowded.

NINTH TABLE. 



SHOWING THE RELATIONSHIP OF TRIBES IN AND ADJACENT TO PALESTINE. 



The object of this table is to illustrate certain 
allusions found in Genesis, Deuteronomy, and 
elsewhere, particularly wberein relationship is 
expressed, as in Deuteronomy ii. 4, " Your 
brethren the children of Esau ;" Edomites. 
Deuteronomy ii. 9, "Distress not the Moabites, 
. . . because I have given Arunto the children of 



Lot," etc. In this table, we see how the relation- 
ship stood, and why ; also how far removed other 
nations were, and why they could be attacked 
and despoiled, although, in some cases, actually 
adjoining others whom they were not permitted 
to trouble or " distress."

TENTH TABLE. 

GEOLOGICAL AND AGRICULTURAL MAP OF PALESTINE. 



This map illustrates many passages and allu- 
sions of Scripture whereiQ either barren or fer- 
tile places or regions are spoken of, but witb this 
modification, namely, that the map, as it appears, 
is drawn upon the basis of examinations by the 
author, with some by Dr. Porter, formerly of 
Damascus, and where neither of the aforemen- 
tioned had visited, the record of Lepsius has 
been used ; all of which is intended to present 
the present condition, and only from this to infer 
which were the most fertile regions anciently. 
Thus it is plain that the regions around Damas- 
cus, the plains of Phoenicia, Sharon, the Philis- 
tines, Esdraelon, and the Jordan near the Dead 
Sea, the valley of the Jordan, the land around 
Hebron and around the crest of Carmel, were, 
as they are in some degree to-day, fertile above 
most other places. At the same time, it must be 
remembered, that a change in climate may have 
made some places barren which formerly were 
exceedingly fertile. There are ancient wine 
presses found in places both east and west of the 



Dead Sea, and indicating a vine-growing region 
where, at present, the sterility is such that 
nothing grows. Near Gaza such evidences are 
said to exist. 

The land represented by the yellow sections 
on the map, while it is comparatively not so fer- 
tile as the regions represented by the green 
shades, is, nevertheless, capable of high cultiva- 
tion, as analysis of the soil in its virgin state by 
Dr. F. A. Genth has fully proved. 

The brown-colored soils represent, apparently, 
volcanic effects, and in the Bashan district. Wet- 
stein has traced distinct volcanic flows of lava 
from the Jebel Hauran, or Dog Mountain, about 
forty miles south of Damascus. 

Perhaps the red soil may be somewhat com- 
posed of igneous rocks, but it is largely composed 
of oxides of iron. 

In the north, the soil is wondrously colored ; 
the author has in his possession soils of no less 
than eighteen shades of color, gathered within a 
circle of less than half a mile diameter. '

BIBLICAL TABLES. 



29 



TABLES ELEVENTH, TWELFTH, THIRTEENTH, FOURTEENTH, 

FIFTEENTH, AND SIXTEENTH. 



These tables are of distances between any 
two places whose sites are known, and whose 
locations are to be found in the Holy Land or in 
the vicinity, south or north of it. 

The proper way to use them is to find the po- 
sition of one of the two names in the left-hand 
column, first, and afterward that of the other 
name, on the upper part of the table, running 
from left to right. If not found in the first 
table in the series, then turn to the one, on the 
following pages, which does contain both names. 
Thus ; required the distance of Capeknaum from 
Jerusalem ; now page 11 has Capeenaum read- 
ing DOWN on the left-hand vertical column, but 
Jerusalem is not on this page ; it should be at 
the top. Horizontal C is the last initial ; turn 
over to 12 ; the vertical column is the same, and 
Capernaum in the same place ; but the top row 
continues from G to J. There you find Jerusa- 
lem ; now read down from Jerusalem, on the 



one hand, and toward the right hand, from 
Capernaum, till the lines intersect, and you have 
the figures 75, meaning seventy-five miles from 
Capernaum to Jerusalem, measuring to the 
middle of the city ON A straight line. RE- 
MEMBER, that where, in tracing the distance 
between two places, you come to a blank, you 
have taken the wrong name first, thus, from 
Capernaum to Jerusalem, 75 ; but if you try 
from Jerusalem to Capernaum in the table is a 
blank ; take it, therefore, from Capernaum to 
Jerusalem. The first three pages read on the 
top line horizontally from A to Z ; each one, 
however, on the left hand, vertical, reading 
down only from A to on each one of the 
three pages. 

On the fourteenth and fifteenth, however, you 
continue from C to J down, and on the sixteenth 
and last table, from K to Z down. 

The following diagram serves as an index :

The distance, for example, between Capernaum 
and Gaza must be between the word Capernaum, 
on the left, and Gaza, which must be between 
Carmel Mount and Jutta, on the top ; trace it, 



and you see it must be in table twelfth ; turn 
over, and you find Capernaum to Gaza 107. So 
the above is the exact index.

The name seems to have been a titular distinction, given 
to the kings of the Philistines, and signifies " Father 
of a King," or "Royal Father." This king took 
Sarah, Abraham's wife, into his harem, from which 
she was miraculously delivered. He formed a league 
of peace with Abraham. 
Anotner Philistine king of Gerar of this name. The 
same danger overtook Rcbekah which attended 
Sarah, but Abimelech relinquished her on finding 
she was a wife. He had some dispute with Isaac 
about wells, but renewed the old covenant of peace. 
The Philistine king of Gath, with whom David twice 

sought refuge from Saul. 
He bore the name of king, but was only a petty prince 
of Bezek, near Shechem. He had, however, con- 
quered seventy others, to whom he showed great 
cruelty. His territory was the first conquest after 
the death of Joshua. 
He was king of Jerusalem when the Israelites entered 

Canaan. Conquered by Joshua. 
Agag, a cruel prince, slain by Samuel. The name 

seems to have been common or titular. 
See " Herod." 

Incidentally mentioned as father of Darius the Mede. 
He is believed to be the Astyages of profane history, 
and the last king of Media. 
This is thought to have been the tyrant Cambyses. To 
this Ahasuerus, the enemies of the Jews wrote an 
accusation. 
This is the king who married Esther. 
He commenced the war with the Israelites, which ended 

in the destruction of the nations of Canaan. 
He was a tetrarch by the will of his father, Herod the 
Great, to whom this part of his kingdom was allotted. 
He was the most cruel of Herod's sons, on account 
of whom Joseph feared taking the infant Saviour into 
Judea. 
This prince is generally identified with Esar-haddon.

ites, applied to Balaam to curse them.

king of Israel. 
A king of Babylon, who lived in friendship with Heze- 

kiah. 
Caesar was a titular distinction conferred on all the 
Roman emperors after Julius Ca;sar, without the 
mention of their proper names, Augustus, etc. He 
decreed the taxing or enrolment at the time of 
Christ's birth, Judea being then a Roman province, 
and its king subject to Caesar. 
In the fifteenth year of his reign John the Baptist com- 
menced his ministry. It was to him the chief priests 
and scribes alluded when they asked Christ if hii 
ought to have tribute. 
In whose days there was a great dearth.

In 1192, made headquarters 
Now called 'Akka. Eighty 



Called also Amana. The Chrysorrhoas of the ancients. Now Barada; finding its source in 

the Anti Lebanon, flowing easterly, passing Damascus, and emptying in a large marsh lake 

called Bahr el Merdj. 
There is a mountain southwest of Zebedany, a part of Anti Lebanon, at the base of which 

the sources of the Barada are found, which is still called Amana. (V. Velde.) From Song 

of Solomon iv. 8, it is evidently a mountain, and not the river Abana, but probably so 

called from the fact that the source of tlie Abana was at its base. 
Perhaps identical with a site of ruins called 'Abdeh, at the entrance of Wady el Kdrn, in the 

plain of 'Akka. (V. Velde.) 
Called also Abel of Beth Maachah, and simply Abel, and, as is probable, the same as Abel 

Maim, in 2 Chronicles xvi. 4, "The meadow of waters;" now Abil ; also called Abil el 

Kamh, a village on a tell, at the side of a stream, which descends from the merj 'Ayiin to 

the Huleh lake. One hundred and twenty miles north by west from Jerusalem. 
"The meadow of the dance." A ruined place, called Khurbet esh Shiik, is found exactly at 

the distance of ten Roman miles south of Scythopolis [Beisan], stated by Jerome to be that 

of Abel Meholah, that being the name of the place in his time. It is at the outlet of W. 

esh Shirk (a branch of W. Maleh), upon an undulating plain at the side of a stream. (V. V.) 

Forty miles north northeast from Jerusalem. 
The district around Abila, now Suk Barada, not far (about eighteen miles) northwest of 

Damascus. 
Called afterward Ptolemais. Called Akkaron by the Crusaders. 

of the Knights of St. John; hence called St. Jean d' Acre. 

miles north by west from Jerusalem. 
About five hundred yards south of the pool of Siloam, on a hill. 
Where Achan sinned; was a short distance above Jericho. 
Supposed to be five miles northeast from Aceho. 
Now Zib; about two and a half hours, or nine miles, north of Accho. 
Now Diira; nearly two and a half hours west of Hebron. 2 Chronicles xi. 9. 
Probably Deir Dubban; near two hours north of Beit Jibrin, and near Sochoh and Jarmuth. 

(V. V.) There are caves here and inscriptions. 
An ascent between Jericho and Jerusalem. The ancient name, under the form of KtiliVt ed 

Dem, was found midway the two places. Joshua xv. 7; xviii. 17. 
Now "tell el Hajar," about forty minutes east by south from Bethel, on the south brow of 

the deep W. el Miltyah, only a broken cistern on the top. Called Aiath in Isaiah x. 28. 

Twelve miles north by east from Jerusalem. 
It gave name to the valley. Now Yalo, on southeast of a fine mountain basin considered to 

be the valley of Ajalon. 
Perhaps identical with Jalun, a site of ruins about four hours east of 'Akka, and thirty 

minutes south southwest of Mejdel Keriim. 
Signifies " fountain," and is supposed to allude to the great source of the river Orontes, near 

el Hiirmal, which is to southwest of Riblah, which would be, therefore, on the " east side of 

Ain," as in Numbers xxxiv. 11, the only place where it occurs. 
Supposed to be the present el Ghuwein, about ten miles nearly south of Hebron. There is no 

sufficient reason for supposing the Ains in Joshua different places. 
The name seems to be perpetuated in the W. el Malek, the chief northern branch of the 

Kishon, near Mount Carmel. The remains may yet be found in the neighborhood. (V. V.) 
Identified with a ruin, 'Almit, about one hour northeast of Anata. 
Possibly identical with a village called Um el 'Amad, "the mother of columns." 
In the mountains; now 'Anab, a village with ruins, south of Hebron. 
Perhaps the present Beit Hanina, east of Naby Samwil. 
On a broad hill, four miles north by east from Jerusalem. 
Mountain city. Supposed to be at el Ghuwein, and the same as Ain. 
Called before Capharsaba (as seen in Jos. Ant. 13, 15, 1). There is a village of the same 

name as that given by Jos., but good reasons are given for supposing that the place is at 

Mejdel, on the north side of a torrent course which comes down west Belat to the north el 

'Aujeh. The two places in question are Kefr Siiba and Mejdel or Mejdel Yaba. 
That of 1 Samuel iv. 1 ; xxix. 1; was probably in the plain of Jezreel, on the site of the 

present el 'Afuleh, or on the place of the neighboring el Fiileh, the Castallum Faba of the 

Crusaders. 
Now Fik, east of the lake of Tiberias, a large village on the high table land. Referred to 

only in 1 Kin<»s xx. 26. 30, and 2 Kings xiii, 17. 
The Aphik of Joshua xii. 18; probably at Ahbek, one and a half miles north of Damun, 

between four and five miles east northeast of Shuweikeh. (V. V.) 
Referred to in Judges i. 31, as Aphik, but in Joshua xiii. 40; xix. 30, as Aphek; was probably 

in the same place as the present Afka, with a few remains of a construction which V e 

natives called el Kulah (the castle). It was the celebrated place of the temple of Venu.s. it 

the fountains of the river Adonis; destroyed by order of emperor Coustantine. (Eusebius.)

Of Moab, or Rabbath Moab, capital of Moab ; afterward Areopolis, and episcopal see ; now 

Rabba, a site with extensive and handsome ruins, about three hours north of Kerak. 
Now Tell 'Arad, a small tell about six hours south of Hebron. Fragments of pottery are 

still found on its top, and a ruined reservoir on the south side of the tell. (V. V.) 
Called Trachonitis, wnich see. 
Some suppose it to have been at present Ramleh, but as it is comparatively a modern town, 

the supposition is extremely doubtful. 
Now Wady el Moyib, running into eastern shore of Dead Sea. 
Now 'Ararah, a site about three hours southeast of Bir es Seba, with several wells oontaininjT 

very good water, and foundations of houses near it. (V. V.) This is the Aroer of 1 Samuel 

XXX. 26, 28. 
Now a site of ruins in Moab, called Arair, about one hour north of W. Mojib 
The Aroer of 2 Samuel xxiv. 5, and Joshua xiii. 25, is supposed to be identical with Kdlat 

Zerka Gadda (Keil) ; others thinit at 'Aireh. 
Only occurs in Judges ix. 41. Prob-ably the same, with a ruin now called el 'Armah (or el 

'Ormah), on the brow of the mountain behind Beit Furik, opposite the valley of Shechem. 

(V. Velde.) 
In Acts viii. 40, called Azotus : now Esdiid, a village on an eminence surrounded with beau- 
tiful gardens, about three hours north northeast of the ruins of Askelon, on the high road 

from Egypt to Syria. 
Now Yasir, with ancient remains; fifteen Roman miles from Neapolis to Scythopolis (Onom). 
Also Ashkelon ; now AskQlan ; large ruins four to four and half hours north of Ghuzzeh. 

Celebrated for its temple of Deroeto, the Syrian Venus. Captured 1153 by Baldwin III. 

from Saladin. Fell into hands of Saracens 1187; taken by Richard Coeur de Lion 1191; 

and destroyed by Sultan Bibars 1270. 
Supposed, with great probability, at Mezarib ; no antiquities. Some suppose it identical with 

Tell 'Ashtereh ; considerable ruins there, but not in the place designated by early writers. 

Six Roman miles from Edrei (now Dera). (Onom.) 
Of Joshua xvi. 2. Supposed to be at Latrun. a probable corruption of el-Etron (or Atariin). 
Of Numbers xxxii. 34. Now a ruin, called Attarus, on western slopes of Jebit Attarus 

(East Dead Sea). 
Now a ruin, 'Atara, a large village between Jifna and Jiljilia, west of the road from Bethel 

to Shiloh. This seems to be the Ataroth-addar of Joshua xvi. 5. and not of Joshua xviii. 

13, which is thought to be the same as Latrun, the Ataroth of Jo.shua xvi. 2. (V. V.) 
Evidently the present el Bdkaa, or plain of Coele Syria; signifies "plain of idols." 
In the plain halfway between Jerusalem and Eleutheropolis. Seems to be identical with a 

village now Ahbek, on a high hilltop, about one and a half miles north of Damiin, and 

four or five miles east northeast of Slmweikeh.

Same city with Kirjath Jearim (Joshua xv. 9) and Kirjath Baal (sixtietli verse and 2 Samuel 

vi. 2). 
Joshua xix. 44. Probably the ruin Deir Balut, one and a half hours south of Mejdel, on the 

high south brow of Wady Kerawa Seems not the Baalath of 1 Kings ix. 18 ; 2 Chronicles 

viii. 6, since not situated near a highway where a fortified place is required. (V. V.) 
In the Dutch and French versions, this place is identified with Ramath of the South, which 

see. It occurs but once, Joshua xix. 8, where " Ramath of the South" is made the same 

as Baalath-Beer, and in 1 Chronicles iv. 33, this place is simply called Baal. 
Of 1 Kings ix. 18 ; 2 Chronicles viii. 6; is supposed to be identical with the present Baalbek, 

in the valley of the Lebanon mountains. There are no other Baalaths in Scripture beside 

those mentioned on this page. 
See Cssarea Philippi, for it is supposed to be identical. 
See Maon. About tliree miles soutlieast from Heshbon, in the tribe of Reuben, east of the 

Jordan. Joshua xiii. 17; Jeremiah xliii; Numbers xxxii. 38.

Five ancient wells, three ruined and two containing water. R,uins north side of the wells 

and wady, the name of which is Bir es Seba. The Syrian desert commences here. 
Same as Beer probably. 
Probably never a village or settlement of any kind. This valley, now "Rereikut, i,s south of 

the ruins called Tekiia, and has a site of ruins on its west side called Bereikut. (V. Velde ) 
Perhajis Beirut. (See Vande Velde, page 293.) 
Same as Berothai. 

A brook; possibly Wady Sheriah; latitude 23° 23'; longitude 34° 25', not far south of Ziglag. 
Possiblv the present " Horns," in extreme north of the Holy Land ; rather beyond it. 
E'ght Roman miles east of Ptolemais, according to Onoraasticon, called Bathne; perhaps same 

as present el-Bahneh, five hours east of 'Akka. Ruins are in and near the village. 
A ford of the Jordan, nearly due east of Jerusalem. The place indicated by the Greek 

Catholics is about two miles south of that indicated by the Latins. 
Possibly the present village 'Ainata, north of Bint-Jebeil. (V. V.) 
At present Beit-'Anun, northeast of Hebron, about six miles toward Tekoa. One mile soulh

The Canaanitish royal city destroyed by Joshua is yet a place of uncertain identification ; 

most probably a ruin-covered site, called Hazur by the natives, on the southern slope 

of a hill which juts out from Merj Ayun toward the Huleh plain. The place is called Tell 

Have. 
The Hazor of Judges iv. 2 is supposed to be a second city of the same name, identical with 

Haziir, about two hours west of Beit Jebeil, in the centre of Gentile Galilee, and identical 

with En-Hazor. Joshua xix. 37. (V V.) 
Of Joshua xi.x. 36 seems to be identical with Tell HaziJr south-east of Rameh. Haziir to the 

east of Kiilat Banias, although evidently an ancieut site, is too far to the east to have any 

connection with any of the Hazors here mentioned, according to V, V. Robinsou supposes 

the different Hazors to be identical with Tell-Khureibeh, south of Kades. 
Supposed identical with Tell 'Astir, about one half hour north-west of the villnge Deir Jerir ; 

but supposed, too, north of Benjamin's northern boundaries; also, supposed the same with 

Khurbet Astir, or Arsur, a ruin near Bir Ne Vala, and near Ramah, Anathoth, and other 

cities mentioned in the contest. Nehemiah xi. 33. 
Or Kirjath Arba; now el Khulil or Khalil ("the friend," after Abraham, the friend of 

God), builded seven years before Zoan in Egypt. 
Famous for its wine. Now Helbon, a village with ancient ruins, north of Damascus. 
Perhaps the same with Beitlif, a village with ancient remains, on the southern brow of 'Wady 

el Ayun, just where it bends its course from south-west to north-west. The upper part of 

the wady towards Surrebin formed, perhaps, part of the boundary between Asher and 

Napthali. 
Perhaps same as village TJkkrith or Ikkrith, with ancient remains, on the high land betweeii 

Wady el 'Ayun and Wady el Karn. 
"Lofty peak." Now Jebel esh Sheik ("the chief mountain"); also, Jebel eth-Thelj ("the 

snowy mountain"). The highest peak on the northern boundary of the land of Israel. 

Seems to be the same with Sirion and Shenir (" glittering breast plate "), and Sion ( ' the 

upraised "), and Baal Hermon, perhaps from its being the chief seat of idol-worship. 

Several ruined temples on its top and ridge, very ancient. Zion, in Psalm cxxxiii. 3, seems 

to stand for Sion. 
Royal city in Moab, builded by Reuben. Afterward probably given to Gad. An episcopal 

city among the early Christians. Now a ruin called Heshban. 
Boundary valley between Judah and Benjamin, south and south-west of Jerusalem. Here 

was Tophet. 2 Kings xxiii. 10. 
Possibly Hurah. a low tell with ruins, at the entrance of Wady el 'Ain, northern extremity 

of the little Plain of Rumash. 
Perhaps the same with el Kausah, having traces of antiquity, near Wady el 'Ain. If so, it 

lies on the very place where the borders of Napthali commence at Heleph Beitlif. 
Probably the same with the village Yakuk, between Wady Kefr 'Anan and Wady Selameh.

Ruins in shape of sarcophagi and pillar, as well as bottle-shaped cisterns. (Yande V ) 
Now a large ruin-covered tell, north-east side Merj Ayun. Now Tell Dibbin, from the 

neighboring village Dibbin. 
Probably Deir Nakhaz, a village with ancient remains, east of Beit Jibrin. 
Now Yarun, a village of Belad Besharah. Foundations and other remains of the ancient city 

on the north east side of the place. 
Probably the same as Beth.shemesh, which see. ♦ 

Some suppose this affix to Judas's name signified Judas of Iscariot, a place east of Samaria, — 

now 'Askar. Others think Iscariot signifies a " man of Kerioth." (Vande V.) 
A province in the tetrarchy of Philip Now Jedur, a district occupying the plain at the 

south-east base of Hermon. 



Jabbok (river) Now Wady Zerka, formed the boundary of the Ammonites. Joshua xii. 2. 

Jabesh, ? Or Jabesh Gilead, six Roman miles from Pella, toward Gerasa. (Onom.) Probably the 

ruin ed-Deir, on the southern brow of Wady Yabes. 

Jabneel, J Or Jabneh. (2 Chronicles xxvi. 6.) Jamiiia in Josephus and the Apocrypha. Between 

Diospolis and Ashdod. (Onom ) An episcopal city in the days of Arius The crusaders 
had near Jabneh a castle called Ibelin or Hibelin. Now Yebna, three hours south-west of 
Ramleh. 

Jaezer, ? Or Jazer in Gilead, ten Roman miles from Philadelphia, and fifteen from Heshbon. (Onom.) 

Now probably Seir, a site with ruins in the locality designated by the Onom. 

Janoah, ?? Eusebius and Jerome suppose it the same as Janohah ; but it is with some reason supposed 

to be identical with a ruin-fortification between Abel-Beth-Maachah and Kedesh. And as 
between these two places there is no ruin except Kfllat Hiinin, it seems that it and Janoah 
are identical. Arnin, called Yaniih, south-west of Haddata, seems to have more corre- 
spondence with Janoah ; but it seems to have been out of the line of march of Tiglath- 
pileser. 2 Kings xv. 29. 

Janohah Border city between Ephraim and Manasseh (.Joshua xvi. 6). twelve Roman miles east of 

Neapolis. (Onom.) Evidently the present village of Yanun, with ancient ruins, about 
three and a half hours south east of Nabiilus. 

Japhia. Z Now Yafa, little south of Nazareth. 

Jajilio, D Or Joppa. seaport thirty-seven miles north-west of Jerusalem. 

Jarmuth, J Now Yarmiith, about forty minutes W.N.W. from Beit Netif. A tell rises above it. 

Jarmuth, ??, L. I |Probably the same with the present Rameh, about three hours north of Sebustiveh, to the 

left of the way to Kefr Kiid This is upon the supposition that Ramoth (1 Chronicles vi. 
73) and Remeth (Joshua xix. 21) are the same as Jarmuth in Joshua xxi. 29.

This was the boundary line between Manasseh and Ephraim. There are reasons for sup- 
posing that the present Wady Kanab. north-west of Jerusalem, could not have been the 
ancient Kanah ; but with great probability the present rivulet Nahr Falik or Falaik, find- 
ing its head one mile west of Nabiilus. in the spring 'Ain el-Kazab, and flowing through 
Wady Shair, is the ancient Kanah. Kanah and Kazab mean the same, " reedy " ; and 
the Nahr Falik has extensive marshes of reed near its mouth. 

Possibly the present el Harti, a village with traces of antiquity, on the banks of the Kishon, 
on the borders of Zebulon and Asher. 

Now Kedes, on hills north-west of Hiileh Lake, with fine ornamented sarcophagi and other 
remains of antiquity. 

Eight Roman miles east of Eleutheropolis, towards Hebron. (.Terome.) Eusebius says 
seventeen. The former correct. A ruin in that direction bears the name Kila. Robinson 
mentions it as a ruined town, which be saw in the distance only. (V. V.) 

City of Gilead. Now Kunawat, at the base of Jebel Hiuran. Son:e supposed it the same 
as the present Kuneiterab, northeast of waters of Merom; but an inscription seems to 
settle the question. 

Perhaps the present Kereitein, a site of ruins on the hill-slope west .side of that valley, 
descending south from Main towards the desert. 

Identical with Kureiyeb, north-east of Basreh, on the southern spurs of Jebel Hauran. 
Some doubts whether Bozrah of Moab and Beth-gamul are identical with Bflsrah and 
Um-el-Jemal. If they are not, then Kureiyeh is not Kerioth 

A wady bearing the same name, Wady el Kaziz, is still found little to the east of the Fountain 
of the Apostles, on the way from Jerusalem to Jericho. 

See Cedron. 

Or Valley of Jehoshaphat. Same as Kedron Valley, east of Jerusalem. 

Probably the ruin, now Kureiyat, on south-west slopes of Jebel Attarus, about ten miles east 
of the northern part of the Dead Sea. 

See Hebron, which is its other n.ame. 

Probably the same as Kuriet el Enab ; and the same as next.

Kuriet el Enab. "Nearlj' nine Roman miles from Jerus.alem. toward Diospolis." (Onom.) 

Fortified capital of Moab. Probably the same as Kir-Haraseth and Kir-Haresh. Now 
Kerak. Contains an imposing ruined castle, built by Pagnnus. a Frank nobleman, in 1183.

Two ranges, one Lebanon, the other Anti-Lebanon, — both approaching each other as (he 

sides of the letter V ; southward terminating in Mount Ilermon. In Scripture, both are 

referred to under the name of Lebanon. 
Now Lubban, about one hour west by north of Seihln (Shiloh), on the west of the highway 

from Jerusalem to Nabiilus, on the brow of the hills. 
See Ramath. 
See Dan. 
Probably an ancient fortified position, now called the tell of 'Ar.nk el Menshiyeh, about two 

hours west of Beit-Iibrin. The tell lies on the north side of th.^ villng<^.

A stronghold of the Sidonians, east of Sidon, in the high cliff. Identified by some with 
Mughara, high up between Jezzin and Mishmushy (crusaders called it Cavea de Tyron), 
and which was the last retreat of the emir Fakhr ed Din. Now known as Shukif Tairun. 

Now a ruin one half hour south-east of Hesban. 

But belonging to Megiddo. Identified with El Lejjun. The fortified town of Megiddo was 
probably situated on the large Tell Metzellim, fifteen or twenty minutes north-west of the 
ruined Khan on the south side of tlie stream. Supposed also to be the " ruins of Legio," 
referred to in the Onom., and Maximianopolis, wnich the Itin. Hieros. places at twenty 
Roman miles from Caesarea and ten from Jezreel. Jerome identifies Maximianopolis with 
Hadad-rimmon, perhaps the present Rummaneh at the foot of the Megiddo hills, in a notch 
or valley about one and a half hour south of Tell Metzillim. The distances of Rummaneh 
do not agree with the Itin. Hieros. ; hence, supposed to be a mistake of Jerome (V. V.) in 
identifying Maximianopolis with Hadad-rimmon. 

" The liigh lake." In Josephus, called Samochonitis. Now Bahr el Hiileh, probably from 
Ulatha, a name given by Greeks to the district in which it is situated. Stanley heard that 
it is also called Bahr Hit, " sea of wheat." 

Probably Kefr Musa, south of Mount Tabor ; or perhaps Marussus, one half hour north of 
Beisan. 

Or Michmas. Now Mukhmas, ruined village two and a half hours north-east of Jerusalem. 

Probably the same as Magdala, which see. 

In the plain. Possibly identical with the present El Mejdel, near Askul^n, although it 
would seem nenrer tlie mountains. (Vande V.) 

Or Mashal or Mishal in the Scriptures. Now Misalli, situated at the sea-side, near Carmel, 
about an hour north of 'Ain Hand. Its ruins are still there. 

Identified with a collection of springs called 'Ain-mesherfi, nearly ten English miles little 
east of north from 'Akka, and at the foot of Jebel Mushakka, near Ras en-Nakura. Ruins 
of the same name (Mesherfi) are near the fountains. 

Or Mizpeh. Identified with Naby Samwil, north west of and near Jerusalem. Supposed to 
be referred to in 1 Kings iii. 4 as the great high place; but with little probability, as 
Gibeon is thus designated, and suflSciently so. Stanley identifies Mizpeh with the swelling 
ground north of Jerusalem, which was the ancient Scopus. (Sinai and Palestine, p. 213, 
214; comp. 211, 224.) 

In the plain. Only spoken of in Joshua xv. 38. Possibly the present Tell es-Safiyeh, 
between Beit Jibrin and Ekron, which has also been identified with the castle oi Blanche 
Garde or Specula Alba, built by King Fulco of Jerusalem. (Biblical Researches, II , 366.) 

But .assigned to Simeon. " Four Roman miles from Arad, on the Hebron Aila road." 
(Onom.) Identified by Robinson and Smith with Tell Milh, nearly two hours south-west 
from Tell 'Arad. The Onom. mentions also a Melatha, on the side of Ether, a city belong- 
ing to Samaria, in the Daroma, twenty Roman miles south of Eleutheropolis, apparently 
the same Malatha mentioned by Josephus. (Ant XVIII., vi. 2.) This would seem not to 
be the same as El Milh or Moladah, but perhaps Tell Melaha, an ancient site on the banks 
of Wady Sheridh, two or three hours west north-west of Tell Hora. (Vande V.) 

That fertile plain east of Nabulns, or more particularly, east of Mounts Ebal and Gerizim. 

And mount of the same name, the hill on which Jerusalem stands. 

The word Mules, in Genesis xxxvi. 24, signifies "hot springs"; and it is supposed with good 
reason that this word refers to the hot springs in the wilderness, at the place called 
Callirhroe, east of northern end of Dead Sea.

Supposed to be at MaWl, about four miles west south-west from Nazareth. 

Of Mount Tabor, near Endor, a poor village still called Nein, near the north-west base of 

Jebel Duhy. 
"In Ramah." (1 Samuel xix. 19.) Therefore very probably only a name for the dwellings 

of the prophets in Ramathaim Zophim 
Now En Nasirah, the chief place of a district of the same name. 
Probably the same with Beit Nabala, near Ludd. 
Mountain east of the Jordan, over against Jericho; part of the range called Abarim ; its 

summit designated as Pi.sgah. Six Roman miles west of Heshbon. (Eusebius). Name seems 

to have disappeared, but the heights generally are known. (Vande V.) 
Another name for Naphtali. Matthew iv. 13, 15.

Nob,B 



" Watt-rs of." Boundary mark of Benjamin and Judah. Probably at present the Fountain 

of Lifta, at about thirty-five minutes west by north from Jerusalem, in the valley which 

runs south of the village. 
A town is mentioned in the Talmud (Mishna Shebirth, ix. 5), at the side of a large valley; 

evidently the same with the modern village Beit-Netif. Perhaps this is the place, although 

thought to be north of Bethlehem. (Vande V.) 
In the plain. " Seven Roman miles from Eleutheropolis." (Jerome.) The same with Beit- 

Nazib, just where Jerome places it. 
Possibly the ruin on the south-east coast of the Dead Sea, at the mouth of a wady of that 

name. 
Identified with the village El-Isawiyeh, about fifty-five minutes from Jerusalem, on the way 

to 'Anata. 



Olives, Mount of. 

Ono, ?, B 

Ophel 

Ophni, ?, B 

Ophrah, ?? 

Ophrah, B 



Now called Jebel-et-Tur, with a village of that name and traditionary church of the Ascen- 
sion on its highest summit. 

Probably now the village Kefr 'Auna, one and three quarters of an hour north of Ludd. 
Traces of antiquity. 

Part of Jerusalem. 

Robinson suggests that it may be identical with Gophna, frequently mentioned by Josephus; 
now Jifna, rather more than one hour north-west of Beitin. 

Possibly it may have been at a site some twenty minutes south south-east of the present 
village Akrabeh, on the opposite side of the valley, near the Wely Abii-Kharib. This site 
is cal'ed Erfai, and shows traces of an ancient place. (Vande V.) This is the Ophrah 
of Judges vi. 11, 24, viii. 27, 32, and ix. 5, the only places where it is mentioned. 

This place, mentioned only twice (Joshua xviii. 23, and 1 Samuel xiii. 17), is identified with 
the village Et-Taiyibeh, about one and a half hour north-east of Beitin. Distinct from the 
last Ophrah, but probably the same as Ephron of 2 Chronicles xiii. 19, and Ephraim of 
John xii. 54.

The country of the Philistines, in south-western part of the Holy Land. Twice mentioned 

Palestina, and once (Joel iii 4) " Palestine." 
Perhaps identical with a site of ruins called Farah, near the juncture of Wady-Farah with 

Wady-TuwS,h and Wady-es-Sel^m. 
Or Ephes-Dammim. 
Or Penuel. On the north side of the Jabbok, south of Mahanaim, though the site is not 

known. 
Identified with the present 'Awaj ; its sources in the ravines of Mount Hermon. 
Same as Palestina, which see. 

Now the village Ferata, about two and a half hours west south-west of Nabulus. 
In the Old Testament, Accho. Now Akka or Acre.

Or Rabbath of Ammon. Called Philadelphia by Ptolemseus Philadelphus. Now 'Amm&n, 
extensive ruins at the source of the Nahr-Zerka, here Nahr-Amm^n. 

Probably identical with Araboneh, a village on south-west slopes of Mount Qilboah. 

Identified by the Jewish rabbis universally with Tubariyeh. (Vande V.) 

Or Ramah. Now Er-Ram, six Roman miles north of Jerusalem, toward Bethel. 

Mentioned but once (Joshua xix. 29). Supposed to be identical with a village of Ramah 
with ancient ruins, three hours southwest of Zibrin. Vande Velde thinks more probably 
it was Ramah about an hour from Tyre. 

Now Rameh, highly situated little to the north of the highway from Akka to the north end 
of Lake Tiberias, and about midway. 

Or Ramathaim-Zophim, Dr. Robinson thinks identical with the elevated village Soba, west 
of Jerusalem. Vande Velde thinks it identical with Ramah north of Hebron, with exten- 
sive ruins. 

Referred to twice (Joshua xix. 8, and 1 Samuel xix. 27). Supposed to be Tell-el-Lekiyeh, 
about one and three quarters of an hour north of Bir-es-Seba (Beersheba). The present 
high-road from Hebron to Egypt passes within forty-five minutes distance from this tell, 
and may therefore be supposed anciently to have touched that site. The tell shows ruins 
from the roadside. (Vande V.) It is however distinct most probably from RamathLehi 
of Samson's exploit. Judges xv. 17. It is probably the same as Baalath-Beer, as appears 
in Joshua xix. 8. 

Probably the same as Remeth in Joshua xix. 21, and Jarmuth in Joshua xxi. 29. Probably 
the same as Rameh, about three hours north of Sebustiyeh, to the left of the way to Kefr 
Kiid. 

Identical with the present EsSalt, in Mount Gilead. 

Name of a well which Isaac digged. Probably identical with a well on the way from Hebron 
to Egypt, seven and a half hours south south-west of Bir-es-Seba. The Gaza-Pefra road 
passes by it. Near the well, now filled up with earth and stones, on its north-east side, is 
a hill covered with ruins, called Ruheiba. 

The uudulatory plain south of Jerusalem, towards Beit-Jala.

one and a quarter hour north-east from Sefurieh. 
Now a ruin, Um-er-RQmmamim, on the way from Beit-Jibrin to Bir-es-Seba, about "sixteen 

Roman miles south of Eleutheropolis.'^ (Eusebius.) 
" Tlie rock." Identified with the conical chalk-hill on which the village Rflmmon is situated,

Near Enon, eight Roman miles south of Soythopolis. Now a site of ruins at the northern 

base of Tell-llidgah. Near the ruins, at the side of a beautiful spring, is a wely to which 

the natives have given the name of Shekh-Salim. The position agrees with the Onomasticon. 

Dr. Robinson locates it elsewhere. Probably near and north-east of Jerusalem. 
Supposed to be Kulat-um-Baghek or Em-Birhek, about one and a half hour north of the 

north end of Jebel-Usdum. 
Evidently the valley south of the marsh Es-Sabkah, at the southern extremity of the Dead 

Sea. There is no reason to suppose any other Valley of Salt, as some suppose. 
Now the village Sebustiyeh, from Sebaste, the name given to the city by Herod the Great, 

after his imperial master. Gave its name to the central province of the Promised Land. 
Probably identical with Simsim, a village north-east from Gaza, on Wady-Simsim. 
Between Eleutheropolis and Askelon. (Onom.) Perhaps one of the two villages Es sa-Wafir, 

south by east from Esdiid. A third Es-sa-WafJr, surnamed Ibu-'Audeh, lies an hour or 

more eastward. 
Called in the Old Testament Zarephath, which see. 
Called also Sharon, which see. 
Frontier mark of Judah, west of Kirjath-Jearim. (Joshua xv. 10 ) Supposed identical with 

Saris, the high-situated village south-west of Kuriet-el-Enab. Others identify it with Esh- 

Sherah. 
Only occurs once. Genesis xxxiii. 18. Probably the same as Salim, about five miles east of 

Nabulus. 
City in Mount Ephraim. Perhaps now Khurbet-Sammir, about one hour east of Yanrin, 

near Akrabeh. 
Between mountains of Ephraim and the sea, all the way from Joppa to Mount Carmel. 

Called Lasharon in Joshua xii. 19. In a more limited sense, the country around Joppa

Or valley of Jehoshaphat. Vide Cedron. 
Another name for Beersheba. . 
Now Nabulus, from Ncapolis. 
Or Bethshemesh, which see.

Naman, the ancient Belus, the waters of which descend from the hills east of Acre, and 

flow into the sea some twenty minutes south of that city. Keil, commenting on Joshua, 

identifies the river either with the Nahr-Keraji or Nahr-Zerka, south of Dor. 
Or Siloam, which see. Occurs but once. Isaiah viii. 6. 
North of Bethel, south of Lebonah, and east of the highway to Shechem. "Twelve Roman

this situation, as indicated in the Onomasticon. 
" Five Roman miles on the south side of Mount Tabor." (Onom.) Now Siilem, a thriving 

village. 
Probably Tell-Sheriah. 
Only occurs in Genesis xiv. ii, 8, 10. Probably the lower part of the Dead Sea before the 

de.struction of Sodom and Gomorrah,

City in Moab. Now a site of ruins on a hill-summit, called Shihan, on the south banks of 

the Arnon.

Reservoir at south-east corner of wall of Jerusalem, supplied by fountain higher up the 

Cedron, and near the eastern walls of the city, called " Fountain of the Virgin."

Elah means " terebinth." (Vande V.) Joshua xv. 35. Also Sochoh and Shochth. 

In the mountains. Identified witli Shuweikeh, village in Wady-el-Khiilil, three hours south 
south-west of Hebron. Joshua xv. "^8. 

Probably the present Wady-Simsim. The Wady-Surar seems too far north for the brook, 
though supposed to be the Sorek. Judges xvi. 4. 

Now Sukkuth, a site with a few foundations of houses, about one mile west of the Jordan, 
and less than one hour north of Wady-Maleh. Generally supposed that there were two 
Succoths. Others assert that it is unnecessary to suppose two.

Now Ta'anulc, a village at the foot of a tell of that name, south-east of El-Lejjiin, on the 
border of the plain of Esdraelon. Also called Tanach. Joshua xxi. 25. 

Possibly the same with Tana or Hin-Tana, a ruin south-east of Nabuliis, on the first plateau 
south of Mejdel 

A city on Mount Tabor. This city occurs in Greek and Pioman writers as Itabyrion or 
Atabyrion. 

Boundary mark between Issachar and Zebulon. Now Jebel-et-Tur, north-east side of plain 
of Esdraelon. 

Frontier town between Manasseh and Ephraim. Now the same with 'Atuf, a deserted village

are here, with excellent spring-water. (Vande V.) 

Also called Tekoah. South of Jerusalem. Now Tekiia, a mound covered with extensive 
ruins, and aS'oiding a fine prospect of the desert and Dead Sea valley, about two hours 
S(mth of Bethlehem. (Vanae V ) 

Not far from Shechem, on the Nabiilus-Beisan road. 

City on western shore of the Lake of Tiberias ; latitude 32° 46' 14". Called after Emperor 
Tiberius. (Josephus' Antiquities, xviii 2, 3, Vita, § 65.) Seat of the Jewish Sanhedrim 
transferred hither from Sepphoris. Famous for its rabbinical learning, and for the 
Mislinah, which was here composed about 190 A. D. Greatly injured by an earthquake, 
January 1, 1837. Considered by the Jews as one of the four holy cities, — Tiberias, 
Jerusalem, Safed, and Hebron. Extensive ruins are found on the south side of the city. 
These are identified by the Jews with Pvakkath (Joshua xix 25) and with Chinnereth. Dr. 
Robinson thinks that there are no grounds for the identification. (Biblical Pvesearches, 
HI, pp 266-274.) Vide Raumer, pp. 125-127; Vande V. 

Length, twelve miles seven furlongs and four hundred and eighty-four feet, according to 
United States survey, or about thirteen miles. South end, latitude 32° 42' 21"; north 
end, latitude .32° 53' 37". Longitude, south end. 3.:.° 35' 19". 

Or Timnath. Now Tibneh, about three miles north-west of Bethshemesh, It is very doubt- 
ful that there were two towns in Judah of the same name. Although two are mentioned 
in Joshua xv. 10 and 57 verses, they may have been the names of same town. 

Arid Timnath-heres. Now Tibneh, north-west of Jerusalem about fifteen miles. "A hill 
covered with considerable ruins, and facing another hill south of the former, with remark- 
able sepulchral caverns, the ornamented poiticoes of which are only equaled by those of 
the tombs of the kings at Jerusalem." (E. Smith.) 

Dr. Robinson tliinks it the same as Taliisa, two hours north of Nabulus. Brocardus thinks 
it the same as Therza, three hours east of Samaria. 

The valley of Hinnom, south of Jerusalem. 

A district which lay east of Gaulonitis; bordered on Auranitis, Batansea, and Damascus. 
Porter proves it same as the present Lejah, between Mount Hermon and Hauran Mountain,

Zai'ephath

and linked together with, Mount Gerizlm. Perhaps there is another Mount Zalmon 
referred to in Psalm Ixviii 14. (Salnum in the English, but Zalmon in the Hebrew.) 

Now Zanu'ah, a vilhige at the entrance of Wady Ishmail. This city was in the plain. 

in the mountains, south of Hebron. Perhaps the same as Zanuiah, a village about one hour 
south-west ofSemoa (Eshtemoah). There are ancient ruins heie. 

The present Wady-el-Ah.sy. 

Sarepta in the New Testament. Now a site of ruins immediately on the shore of the Medi- 
terranean, about three hours south of Sidon. In Surafend.tlie name of the modern village 
on west side of a hill adjacent these ruins, we have the ancient name preserved. 

A town, and perh.Tps a district, mentioned once in Scripture (Joshua iii. 16, 1 Kings iv. 12), 
south of Bethshean. Supposed to have been at Surtabeh, in the ghor south of Wady-el- 
Ferrah. Surtabeh is the present name of a mountain group, possessing the ruins of a castle 
upon its highest peak. 

Probably now the ruins Sara, half an hour from the beich of the Dead Sea, on a mountain, 
near a hot-spring. This spring is south of a similar fountain in Wady-Zerka-Ma'm.

Identified with the present S<ldS,d, twelve hours south-east of Hasya, a village ou the caravan 

road from Damascus to Homs. 
Or Zelzah. Identified with Beit-Jala, opposite Rachel's tomb. 
Probably upon the hill of the same name, mentioned in 2 Chronicles xiii. 4. Possibly the 

same with Es-Surarah, a ruin nearly two hours north of Jericho, on a hill in the plain. 

This ruin is not to be confounded with Es-Samieh, a ruin north-west of Es-Sumrah, on the 

brow of the mountains. 
See Sidon. 
A part of Jerusalem, where the fortress stood which David took from the Jebusites. It was 

near the south wall of the city. 
In the mountains. Probably now the village Sa'ir, two and a quarter hours north-east of 

Hebron. 
In the mountains. Now TellZif, with traces of an ancient town, about one and a quarter 

hour south south-east of Hebron. There was another Zif, much farther south, mentioned

Note.— There is a reasonable probability that the names of the antediluvian patriarchs, when translated in order, alluded prophetically 
to coming events; thus, Adam, man; Seth, being placed; Enos, in a condition of death; Cainan, lamentable; Mahalaleel, the mighty 
God; Jared, shall descend; Enoch, teaching; Methuselah, (.that) through his death; lamsch, (there is) to smitten (men); Noah, consolation.

NOTES ON MEASURES, ETC. 



[The following from Life and Work at the Great Pyramid, by C. Piazzi Smyth, is important at this place.] 



Of all the contents of the tabernacle of the con- 
gregation, prepared by Moses in the wilderness, 
none was so sacred as the " arh of the covenant." 
It was kept in the holiest of holies ; occupied its 
chief space ; and was never to be looked on by 
any but the high-priest alone, even during a 
journey. Near it was placed an ephah measure, 
and outside its compartment, as Michaelis has 
shown, were various other standards of measures. 
No metrological purpose, that we are aware of, 
has hitherto been assigned to the ark itself. As 
its original name, "area," implies, it was a box 
or chest; and its first stated purpose as such was 
to hold the Divine autograph of the laws written 
on stone. 

This box, made of shittim or acacia Avood, was 
lidless, though a crown of gold was afterwards 
added round about the rim, and a separate or 
loose lid was made for it of pure gold, called the 
mercy-seat. The actual seat, however, said to 
be occasionally occupied as a throne by an ex- 
pression of the Divine presence, was not that 
lid, but was formed by the wings of two winged 
angels, constructed in gold, at either end of the 
lid, which lid at such time, together with the 
ark below, then formed the footstool} 

With the lower part only of this arrangement, 
or the ark, have we to do ; and that was in itself, 
the loose upper lid of gold being removed, merely 
a lidless box, made of a hard and tough wood, 
derived from a tree common to the hills of Sinai. 

Such a shape and material are not unusual for 
large vessels of capacity measure ; but, then, 
what was the size of this one ? The Scriptures 
say two and a half cubits long, one and a half 
cubit broad, and one and a half high. 

Was this outside measure or inside measure ? 
Outside, without doubt. First, because, on the 

1 The lid or cover of the ark was of the same length and 
breadth, and made of the purest gold. Over it, at the two 
extremities, were two cherubim, with their faces turned toward 
each other, and inclined a little towards the lid, otherwise 
called the mercy-seat. Their wings, which were spread out 
over the top of the ark, formed the throne of God, the King of 
Israel, while the ark itself was the footstool. (Exodus ziv. 
10-22, xxxvii. 1-9 ; Kitto's Bible Cyclopedia, p. 214.) 



latter supposition, the vertical component of the 
proportions would inevitably have been spoken 
of as depth, and not height; and, second, because 
the lid, or mercy-seat, being made, as duly stated 
in the same place, of only the same length and 
breadth as the open box of the ark, would infalli- 
bly have tumbled down into it if that length and 
breadth had applied to that box's inner, and not 
its outer dimensions. Hence, with the length of 
the sacred cubit in our hands, we can immedi- 
ately approach exceedingly near to the exact 
cubical contents of the ark. For although the 
thickness of its sides is not mentioned in Scrip- 
ture, a knowledge of the size, shape, and material 
of the whole being already given, the limits 
within which such thickness must be found are 
left very narrow indeed. 

Let the thickness so assumed, for instance 1.8' 
inch, and these inches similar to those of which 
the sacred cubit contains 25, and the semi-axis 
of the earth's rotation 250,000,000; then the 
length, breadth, and depth will be reduced from 
an outside of 62.5, 37.5, and 37.5 inches, to an 
inside of 58.9, 33.9, and 35.7, the continued mul- 
tiplication of which three last quantities gives 
71,282 cubic inches for the capacity contents of 
the box. 

Or if we consider the sides and ends 1.75 inch 
thick, and the bottom 2 inches (also very fair 
proportions in carpentry), then the inside meas- 
ures are 59.0, 34.0, and 35.5, which yield for their 
cubical contents 71,213 inches, mean = 71,248. 

Thus, in any mode, almost, of practically con- 
structing ihe ark-box on the data given in the 
Bible, taken in conjunction with Sir Isaac New- 
ton's length of the sacred cubit, as opposed to 
the profane cubits of Egypt, Phoenicia, Greece, 
and Kome, we come extraordinarily close upon 
that most important number of 71,250 cubic 
inches ; and that is not only very near to the 
mean of all men's determinations of the contents 
of one Hebrew laver, or forty Hebrew baths, but 
is the very amount, also, of the coffer in the great 
pyramid, which building, though in Egypt, will 
be shown in volume III to have been composed

for purposes much more anti than pro Egyptian, 
and without that nation's intelligent understand- 
ing or concurrence. 

THK BRAZEN LAVERS OF SOLOMON, 

Then, which were each of them of the same re- 
lative or stated size as the ark, (i. e. forty baths 
in contents), may be considered merely copies of 
the more ancient ark, as to cubical bulk, for 
common metrological and other purposes, and 
may in so far remain at the head of our practical 
table, while their more precious original is only 
to be referred to on important occasions. 

THE MOLTEN SEA. 

If the above principles are correct, they may 
throw some light on a very much larger measure 
of capacity still, once in use among the Hebrews 
for sacred purposes; namely, the "molten sea," 
that large vessel cast in bronze by King Solomon, 
and which has been restored, imaginatively, of 
almost every possible shape and size, by various 
modern essayists, but not connected by them with 
any very certain principles or direct application 



of the sacred standard , while the notices of it in 
the Bible itself are rather conflicting. 

Thus, for the relative value of its contents, 
they are stated in Kings to be two thousand, 
and in Chronicles three thousand baths. But 
inasmuch as the account in Kings is much more 
full than that in Chronicles, and in Kings alone 
is given at the same time the contents of the 
laver in baths also, we shall secure ourselves from 
perhaps referring to a profane Egyptian or some 
other size of bath, if we conclude that the con- 
tents of the molten sea were two thousand of 
those haths of which the laver held forty, or that, 
in fact, the molten sea was equal in cubic con- 
tents to fifty times one laver ; and one laver was 
equal to the ark of the covenant, whose cubic 
contents in inches we have shown to be as nearly 
as possible seventy-one thousand two hundred 
and fifty. ... At the great pyramid, there is a 
space marked off to indicate a very large amount 
of cubical contents, utterly different in shape 
from King Solomon's brazen sea ; yet when 
neatly and accurately measured, it is found to 
contain close on the same amount of cubical con- 
tents as that, or fifty times seventy-one thousand 
two hundred and fifty cubic pyramid inches.

FINAL NOTES UPON SCRIPTURAL MONEYS AND MEASURES. 



The first occurrence of the word money in the 
Bible (Genesis xvii. 12 and xxiii. 9), indicates 
that silver was used as the representative of 
money, so far as any metal did so represent value. 
The first mention is made of the " shekel " in 
Genesis xxiii. 15, the same Hebrew word signify- 
ing weight ; whereby we learn that the first 
money was paid out or received by weight. In 
Genesis xxxiii. 19, Joshua xxiv. 32, and Job xlii. 
11, the word used to express money, " Icesitdh" 
makes it probable that either a lamb or its value 
in money may have been meant, although in 
our English version it reads simply " a piece of 
money." The word " woney," not connected 
with the word "piece,'' is to be found in the Old 
Testament at least sixty-seven times, and in each 
case, save one, is the translation of the Hebrew 
word signifying silver. In that one exception 
(Exodus -xxi. 30), it signifies a security {"Icophcr, 



lai)- But in the New Testament, the English 
word " money " is the translation of a Greek 
word which in Matthew xvii. 27 signifies " stater" 
(^dTaTfip); in Matthew xxv. 18, "silver" (apyopiov); 
in Mark vi. 8, " brass " (jj^aAxov) ; in Acts v. 37, 
"the needful," or "profits " (xpij/ia), which need- 
ful, in the case of Simon the sorcerer, was after- 
ward called "silver"; but both words, in the 
English, called " money." That incident is sug- 
gestive wherein the evangelist (Mark xii. 41) 
says that "Jesus sat over against the treasury, 
and beheld how the people cast ' money ' into the 
treasury"; for the word "money" is in the 
original " brass," not " silver." But when these 
men (Mark xiv. 11) were glad at Judas' offer to 
betray Christ, they promised to give him "money," 
which was not "brass" now, but "silver" (apyuptov). 
In all cases wherein the phrase "pieces of silver" 
occurs in the Old Testament, the word "pieces,"

with two exceptions (1 Samuel ii. 36 and Psalm 
Ixviii. 30), is not found in the original text; and 
hence it is printed properly in Italics. In the 
tiuo exceptions, the first signifies a grain or very 
little bit of silver, the "smallest amount." (Ap- 
ply this meaning in the context in the verse.) 
The second exception signifies "shattered pieces." 
In all the other cases, the word signifies "■sil- 
ver,'' definitively described; and hence the word 
"pieces " conveys in the best manner the idea of 
the context. The same is true in the New Testa- 
ment, excepting in Luke xv. 8, 9, where the 
particular coins, " drachms," are mentioned def- 
initely, although translated "pieces of silver," 
"one piece," and "the -piece"; in each case 
" drachm." 

SHEKELS OF SILVER, 

These shekels of silver were about two shillings 
four and a halfpence sterling, or about fifty-seven 
cents in value; for Josephus says the silver shekel 



equaled "four Athenian drachms" (Jos. Antiq. 
Jud., book III., viii. 2), being two shillings ten 
pence sterling ; but the learned Jews considered 
them one fifth larger than the old shekels, which 
agrees with the value of shekels, several of which 
have been examined in the United States mint, 
Philadelphia, and which were coined by Simon 
the Maccabee, who first obtained permission to 
coin money, which privilege he used in coining 
shekels of gold, silver, and copper. Before this, 
the Greek and Eoman coins were used; and dur- 
ing the captivity, the Babylonian and Persian 
coins were used. Before the captivity, there is 
no reason to believe that the Jews had any 
coined money of their own whatever. (Kitto, 
History of Palestine, book V, 5.) And their 
shekels were simply pieces of metal cut off either 
from rolls or masses, and of a certain weight, 
the first coins of silver being irregular masses 
simply stamped on one side ; hence, the term 
" shekel," from the Hebrew word which signifies 
simply "to weigh."
